Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to environmental microorganisms and their methods for wastewater denitrification, specifically to a method for wastewater denitrification using low-temperature resistant heterotrophic nitrifying aerobic denitrifying bacteria. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, although water pollution has improved, nitrogen discharge into water bodies due to human activities remains a serious problem. Therefore, removing nitrogen from wastewater remains a crucial issue in addressing water pollution. Current methods for water pollution control include physical, chemical, and biological methods, with biological methods being particularly effective in treating nutrients in wastewater. Traditional biological nitrogen removal methods generally fall into two categories: conventional biological methods rely on autotrophic nitrifying bacteria (AOB and NOB) to convert ammonia to nitrate in an aerobic environment, and heterotrophic nitrifying bacteria to reduce nitrate to gas through denitrification in an anaerobic / anoxic environment. Conventional bioecological nitrogen control technologies typically separate nitrification and denitrification into two stages to maintain suitable growth conditions for autotrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms. This requires separate processes in two reactors, which is wasteful of resources and is complex and inefficient. With the discovery of heterotrophic nitrifying aerobic denitrifying bacteria, biological nitrogen removal technology has taken a significant step forward. Heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification can remove ammonia, nitrates and organic matter simultaneously in a single process, and is currently the most promising technology.
[0003] Northern my country experiences long, cold winters, making it difficult to efficiently remove nitrogen nutrients from cold lakes using biological methods. Current biological wastewater denitrification technologies are ineffective at low temperatures and suffer from a lack of low-temperature bacterial resources. Research has shown that low-temperature environments (<15℃) inhibit the growth and metabolism of autotrophic nitrifying bacteria. To overcome this limitation, researchers have continuously innovated and improved their methods, isolating and screening cold-resistant denitrifying microorganisms. Heterotrophic nitrifying-aerobic denitrifying bacteria have gradually attracted widespread attention due to their strong adaptability to low-temperature environments. More and more cold-resistant heterotrophic nitrifying-aerobic denitrifying functional bacteria have been screened and isolated from various environments, and their low-temperature resistance has been gradually discovered, making them a feasible alternative for treating nitrogen-containing pollutants and improving denitrification efficiency in cold regions.

Add the sample to a 250ml Erlenmeyer flask containing 100mL of enrichment medium and incubate for 48h. Set the parameters of the constant temperature shaker to 10℃ and 120 r / min. When the cells grow to the point that the medium is obviously turbid, transfer 10mL of the cell suspension from the turbid medium to 100ml of fresh enrichment medium and continue to incubate at 10℃ and 120 r / min for 48h. Repeat the above process 3 times. 2) After enrichment, the samples were diluted using a gradient dilution method to obtain bacterial suspensions of 10⁻¹, 10⁻², ..., 10⁻⁸. Three gradients of 10⁻⁶, 10⁻⁷, and 10⁻⁸ were selected, and 100 μL of each gradient was evenly spread on heterotrophic nitrification solid medium. The suspensions were incubated at 10℃ for 2-3 days. Single colonies will form in the medium. Single colonies were picked and streaked multiple times in a three-zone heterotrophic nitrification solid medium to ensure the purity of the strains in the medium. 3) The obtained pure strains were inoculated onto denitrification medium and incubated in a biochemical incubator at 10°C for 72 h; strains with denitrification ability were preliminarily screened based on the color change of the denitrification medium, and strains that showed a blue halo were selected for further screening. 4) The selected strains were inoculated into nitrification liquid culture medium and cultured with shaking at 10℃ and 120 rpm. After 60 h, the ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency was measured, and the strain with the highest efficiency, BK17, was selected for subsequent experiments. (4) Application of wastewater denitrification methods: The process includes the following steps: Heterotrophic nitrifying aerobic denitrifying bacteria are cultured under different conditions at low temperatures, and their ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency is tested; the carbon sources for nitrogen-containing wastewater are sucrose, glucose, sodium acetate, sodium succinate, and sodium citrate, with a C / N ratio of 4-20, a pH of 5-10, a rotation speed of 40-200 rpm, an inoculum size of 0.5%-4%, and a salinity of 0-4%.
2. The method for using low-temperature resistant heterotrophic nitrifying aerobic denitrifying bacteria for wastewater denitrification according to claim 1, characterized in that, The Pseudomonas BK17 strain removes one or a combination of ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen under low temperature conditions.
